it's with great pleasure to announce the anticipated release of it takes a village, the sophomore album from Berlin-based, Aotearoa/New Zealand artist Noah Slee.

Speaking on the creation of the immense project, Slee expands; 'it takes a village' is a very special project for me. One of those magical comings together of the most beautiful souls. It’s a small insight into the creative community here in Berlin I’m apart of. We sing about the complexities of life and we sing about the struggles we face. We sing about hope but not forget about addressing injustices. It’s layered and insightful. I know as a creative I’ll look back one day and be proud of what WE produced. Something for the times, addressing the past and optimism for the future.'

Combining influences of soul, RnB and alternative pop, it takes a village is an exploration into vulnerability, community, empowerment and culture. Previous singles, 'RISE (feat. LVJ)', 'HEALING' and most recently, 'GOLDEN (feat Joy Denalane)', only scrape the surface of what this dynamic and soulful body of work has to offer.
